Rather nice startup manager
CarnivorezDecember 9, 2009
Pros
Easy to use. Has lots of features.
Cons
Isn't free.
Summary
In the end - worth the cost.
One of the best startup managers I've tried.
NikitaMay 9, 2007
Pros
Genarally I like this proggy. Simple to use and nice-looking. I especially like the Heal My PC feature which other similar programs don't have and Black List - the matter is that there are programs that stubbornly add themselves into startup whenever you run them even if you have previously removed them from there (for example MSN Messenger, Ashampoo Uninstaller Platinum ABBY Lingvo Tutor). With InControl's Black List it is easily solvable: once you have added an application to the Black List you will never need to bother removing it from the startup list again.
Cons
1) I don't want Welcome Wizard to pop up each time I run the program and I haven't managed to find how to stop it. 2) I would prefer Black List feature to block intruders for good so that it was not necessary to run InControl for that. 3) The price is too high.
Summary
I think it has a spyware----keystroke logger to be precise...

Pros
Very good utility, removes unwanted startup items from msconfig.
Cons
think it has a spyware...counterspy says so... OverSpy Commercial Key Logger more information... Details: OverSpy 1.2 is a keylogger which logs keystrokes of the user's PC invisibly in the background. -------------- Solid Key Logger 1.6 Key Logger more information... Details: Solid Key Logger records everything that has been typed on a computer's keyboard. ------------------
